Review from Wendy G (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everything I have seen and experienced at Morar St Andrews has been outstanding. I could not imagine a more comfortable, welcoming, and wonderful home for my mum. The staff are clearly dedicated, and highly capable of delivering respectful, compassionate care-but Morar goes above and beyond. There is
genuine warmth and humour, and I truly feel that my mum is loved and cherished here. Food, activities (and indeed all aspects of care) are being thoughtfully tailored to mum's own needs, wherever possible, and as a result she has developed a renewed sense of fulfilment. The wonderful staff have helped bring a big smile to my mum's face and a twinkle to her eyes. Knowing that she is so settled and happy has made an immense difference to my own life too-and I could ask for no more.
Reply from Stephen McLachlan, Home Manager at Morar @ St AndrewsThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We are truly honoured by your kind words and delighted to know that your mum feels so settled, happy, and cherished at Morar St Andrews.
Our team is deeply committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care, and it means a great deal to hear that the warmth, humour, and individual attention shown have made such a positive difference to both your mum's life and your own. Your feedback will be shared with the whole team, who will be incredibly proud to know the impact they have made.
Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care - it is a privilege to support her and your family.

Review from Jean S (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Minimum of care standards not met, complaints from October still awaiting investigation including waist strap on chair not fastened. Unexplained injuries not investigated, hydration levels below minimum levels two thirds of the time according to records sent by email, injury from uncut nails days after
we highlighted this and the care home said nail cutting was their responsibility. Diet not consistent with level 5 and 6 causing risk of choking. Being left in a state of undress for hours, not being moved frequently enough to protect skin. Complaints raised repeatedly from August to December about the care plan not being followed. Eventually we moved dad due to ongoing issues.
Reply from Patrick O'Hare, Operations at Morar @ St AndrewsI acknowledge review, however i am unable to comment on individual cases due to present investigation.

The nursing home is sensational! Is far and away a beautiful, functional and superb facility.
Equally, the staff is quite wonderful, professional, kind and conscientious. All staff members have the residents health and welfare at heart and I cant praise them enough.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.204)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.204) out of 10 for Morar @ St Andrews is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.347 for Morar @ St Andrews is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.347
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Morar @ St Andrews is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.357
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
